Fanny Brate (Stockholm, February 26, 1861 - April 22, 1940) was a Swedish painter. She influenced Carl Larsson, and her work is seen as the inspiration for his watercolours of idyllic family life. The National Museum held a memorial exhibition of her collected works in 1943, where 126 works were displayed. She painted both in oil and watercolours. Her work has significant cultural heritage value in its depiction of Swedish nineteenth century Bourgeoisie life.
